Using another's pregnancy to deceive

Yikes: An increasing number of pregnant women are turning to Craigslist to make a quick buck — with their positive pregnancy tests.

Want to "get your boyfriend to finally pop the question"?

Some women on Craigslist have the answer: Buy their pregnancy tests! Apparently, it's a growing trend. According to The Daily Dot, an increasing number of women are offering their positive pregnancy tests to anyone willing to plunk down $25–$30.

Of course, no questions are asked.

"Ever since I became pregnant, I have been asked numerous times for a positive test, so I decided to start charging for it!" one Buffalo, New York, woman wrote on CL. "I will take the test the same day you want to pick it up! I don't care what you use it for, not my business."

The only real thing we can assume is that the buyers are trying to accomplish something, like a proposal. At least one Texas woman admits to wanting a positive pregnancy test to get back at a cheating husband.

"I'm so done with him and angry and don't want him back but would like the last laugh out of this," the poster wrote.

Yikes.

While we know there's a seller for every buyer, this just seems like an incredibly terrible idea. Getting a little bit of innocent revenge is one thing, but entrapping your boyfriend in marriage because of a pregnancy?

We watch enough soap operas to know these sort of plots never work out.
